Drake Rolling Stone Interview Quotes: Drake Talks Dating Rihanna Rumors, Grammys and Kanye West Criticism
Today, Rolling Stone released a revealing interview with Drake, where he settles dating rumors (including Rihanna), his distaste with the Grammys, and rival Kanye West. The Nothing Was the Same rapper is now publicly saying that he is not happy with the piece.
Drake has been the target of endless romance rumors with a variety of ladies including Jhené Aiko, Zoë Kravitz, and Khloé Kardashian, but Drake insists he's single.
"I'm not after pussy like I was three years ago, when I was trying to make up for all the years when no girl would talk to me," he said. "But I haven't met somebody that makes everybody else not matter."
Meanwhile, talk about Drake and Rihanna won't go away. Still, Drake says the two are still just friends
"She's the ultimate fantasy," Drake said. "I mean, I think about it. Like, 'Man, that would be good.' We have fun together, she's cool and shit. But we're just friends. That's my dog for life."
Rumors intensified when he hung out with Rihanna instead of attending this year's Grammy Awards, but Drake had a different reason for ditching.
"It becomes more apparent how irrelevant our genre is to them," he explained. "They were trying to utilize me to sell the show, requesting me to come and perform 'Hold On We're Going Home' but they didn't nominate it for anything! They're calling me, e-mailing me every day to do some elaborate performance and bring them viewers, but I didn't get a nomination for Album of the Year. I didn't get a nomination for Song of the Year."
The magazine quotes Drake criticizing Kanye West's latest album, Yeezus, despite their "patched-up friendship."
"There were some real questionable bars on there," he reportedly said. "Like that 'Swaghili' line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn't say some shit like that ... Kanye's the reason I'm here. I love everything about that guy."
A Rolling Stone rep confirmed the quote, but Drake claims he never said anything about Yeezus.
"I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue," Drake said via Twitter according to MTV News, but the tweet has since been deleted.
The late Philip Seymour Hoffman is on the cover of the Feb. 27 issue.
"I'm done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That's the only way my message gets across accurately," Drake tweeted.
